"WellCare is focused on leveraging innovative approaches that both improve our quality outcomes and help us enhance health and quality of life for our members," said Walter Cooper, Chief Administrative Officer of WellCare. "We are pleased with the opportunity to continue working with MedAssurant and are confident that the unique capabilities offered by the Star Advantage and INDICES solutions will play a key role in helping us achieve our service and quality goals."

"MedAssurant understands the importance of quality outcomes and the necessity for today's leading health care organizations to have detailed, timely insight into their CMS Five-Star Quality Ratings," said Keith Dunleavy, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of MedAssurant. "Even more critical, however, is to have visibility into the predictive progression of these quality ratings and the intervention capabilities to support the achievement of targeted goals. Throughout our relationship with WellCare, we have been very impressed by their attentive approach to best practices with both their members and providers. It is a pleasure to work with a partner that is so clearly and consistently dedicated to these values."

The MedAssurant and WellCare relationship dates back to 2008 when MedAssurant began coordinating clinical data accuracy and claims analytics solutions for WellCare's Medicare lines of business. In 2010, MedAssurant and WellCare expanded their relationship to add prospective analytical processes (known as Prospective Advantage(TM)). With this expansion of the relationship, MedAssurant will now implement its Star Advantage and the INDICES solutions.
